Other topics covered by
Piwonka were billing dates (the
dates differ for different sec
tions of town), how to read an
electrical meter, how to calculate
an electrical bill, the power cost
adjustment and the approxi
mate costs of running different
household appliances.
Among the literature she dis
tributed was an extensive list of
household appliances and how
much they cost to run.
For example: an air condi
tioner costs an average of $26 a
month, a refrigerator — $7 to
$10 a month, a color television
— $1 to $3, and a radio — less
than $1.
Peggy Calliham, coordinator
of the brown bag seminars, said
that with the seminars, “the city
hopes to open up lines of com
munication with its citizens a
in a positive manner, try
approach any problems that can
be solved.”
Calliham said that other
topics to be considered for later
seminars are the upcoming city
bond election, the viability
establishing a youth center and
how to save on home energy
costs.

WASHINGTON — The Sup
reme Court handed states a dol-
lars-and-cents victory Monday,
ruling they may tax part of the
total worldwide income for mul
tinational corporations doing
business within the state.
The 5-3 ruling upheld a Cali
fornia law — similar to laws in 22
other states — that calls for taxa
tion of that portion of the overall
income of a corporation and its
foreign subsidiaries attributable
to the parent company’s opera
tions within state boundaries.
Writing for the court, Justice
William Brennan said double
taxation — as the corporations
claim — is permissible, and re
jected claims it invites retaliation
by foreign nations against U.S.
companies abroad.
Corporations had argued
such taxation is unfair because
they should not have to pay state
taxes on income earned abroad
by foreign subsidiaries. But the
states maintain it prevents giant
firms from avoiding taxes by
shuffling profits among sub
sidiaries.
A total of 23 states have Cali
fornia’s method of taxing multi
national corporations, including
Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illi
nois, Indiana, Massachusetts,
Montana, New Hampshire, New
York, North Dakota, Oregon,
Utah, Arizona, Kansas, Ken
tucky, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Nebraska, North Carolina, New
Mexico, West Virginia and
Oklahoma.

Charge d’affaires Herbert
Wilgis was called to the foreign
ministry Friday to receive the
formal protest, the agency said.
It was delivered a day after
Reagan told cheering Polish
Americans in Chicago that “no
one could crush the spirit of the
Polish people.
“I urge the Polish authorities
to translate the restraint they
showed during the papal visit
into willingness to move toward
reconciliation rather than con
frontation with the Polish peo
ple,” Reagan said.
PAP, the Polish news agency,
said the speech was unworthy of
a leader of a country maintain
ing diplomatic relations with Po
land and constitutes another
glaring example of interference
in Polish internal affairs.
“In the opinion of the Polish
government, that speech fully
confirms that the intention of
the present U.S. administration
is to strive to keep up at all costs
tension in Poland,” PAP said.
The official protest charged
Reagan’s speech exploited inter
nal tensions in Poland in order
to justify United States arms
policies.

MOSCOW — Leaders of the
Warsaw Pact will gather in Mos
cow today for a summit meeting
devoted to political and military
issues, East European sources
said Monday.
There was no official
announcement, but Romanian
leader Nocolae Ceaucescu was
seen in a motorcade driving in
from the airport, and Hunga
rian leader Janos Kadar was ex
pected later in the day.
The gathering was expected
to include Communist Party
leaders and defense ministers of
the East-bloc military alliance,
along with Marshal Uiktor Kuli-
kow, commander-in-chief of the
Warsaw Pact, the sources said.
The leaders were expected to
issue a statement endorsing the
Soviet Union’s position against
the deployment of American
rockets on the continent, which
is scheduled to begin later this
year.

“Independence Day can
bring more motorists to our
streets and highways compared
to a regular Weekend,” Adams
said. “We are estimating fewer
deaths than we had during the
Fourth of July holiday last year
because thus far this year we
have experienced a decline in
traffic fatalities.”
Adams encouraged drivers to
stay sober, slow down and use
seat belts in order to icrease their
chances for safe travel. He also
said motorists who observe
drunken drivers should report
them to the nearest police
agency.
Additional troopers will be
utilized statewide on appropri

effort to cut down on traffic
fatalities, Adams said.

Tel Aviv, Israel — Israel is in
the second year of war in Leba
non, doctors are in the fourth
month of a strike, inflation
pushes prices up half a percen
tage point a day — and one in
four Israelis goes abroad for a
vacation.
“It’s a classic case of an eco
nomy supplying guns and but
ter,” a Western economic analyst
said. In the first five months of
the year, Israelis bought 40,737
new cars, meaning one in 70
Israelis bought a new vehicle —
at a cost of more than $10,000
each.
In all, there are 700,000 autos
around the country. Almost
two-thirds of households have a
car, as many as those who own
color televisions.
About 700,000 Israelis are
going abroad this year, accord
ing to the Association of Travel
Agents. They are expected to
spend $198 billion during their
travels, about half the annual
U.S. economic and military aid
package to the Jewish state.
The paradox of plenty amid a
costly war and an economy
showing no real growth is ex
plained by an often overlooked
statistic: Israel is the sixth year of
Menachem Begin’s brand of
conservative rule.
After 29 years of Labor party
rule, Begin’s Likud party, reject
ing socialist central planning,
has put money in people’s pock
ets and removed straints on
spending it.
“I knew how it was here under
Lee,” said a veteran observer.
“People were ashamed when
they bought anything, thinking
they were hurting the country.
“You couldn’t buy dollars.
You couldn’t do anything. You
needed permission for every
thing. It was gloomsville. People
are now happy for the first
time,” he said.
The government provides
hefty subsidies to purchasers of
U.S. dollars and other foreign
currencies. Adding to a recent
International Monetary Fund
report the real value of the
Israeli Shekee should be 19
cents, instead of the current 20
cents.
Foreign minister Aridor has
rejected criticism, mainly from
